People often struggle to find these local groups. Twitter wants to fix that. The new feature makes it simple. Users can find clubs based on their location. They can see event details like times and places. This includes star parties and telescope workshops.
Astronomy clubs welcome this change. Many clubs find it hard to attract new members. Twitter’s large user base offers a big chance. Club leaders hope this brings more people to their events. More attendees mean stronger local astronomy communities.
The feature works within the Twitter app. Users tap a new “Local Clubs” button. This shows events happening soon nearby. Clubs must register with Twitter to list their events. Twitter verifies these clubs first. This ensures users find real astronomy groups.
Finding events is free for everyone. Clubs pay nothing to list their activities. Twitter sees this as a community service. The company believes it supports science education. It also helps people connect over shared interests. Stargazing is more fun with others.
Twitter tested this feature in several cities. Feedback from users and clubs was positive. People enjoyed finding events easily. Clubs reported higher attendance at meetups. Based on this success, Twitter is launching it worldwide. The rollout starts today.
